Shoes!

[sac-climber]

Just curious what type of footwear you all sport while aloft?

Personally, I wear something like these most of the time....

These are the boots I have worn over the years: Redwing Loggers, Vasque Sundowners, Carharts (very cheap). Currently wearing Kenetrek hikers.

I've got a pair of Vasque St. Elias boots that I really enjoy. They even leave the ground sometimes.

I usually wear my custom-fitted 10" logger style boots for climbing but I recently tried my uninsulated mountaineering boots (La Sportiva Trango) and they worked too. I often use a foot ascender so they have to be high enough for the strap.

I bought first generation ArbPros from Treestuff and love them. The second generation (EVO) look like bigger boots and less like climbing boots. The newest ones look more like climbing boots again. I put them on at the base of the tree and take them off when I am done climbing for 2 reasons:
1) They are not the most comfortable walking around boots (but they are nice in the tree)
2) I want to minimize the wear and tear.

I'd buy them again when these wear out, but they are no longer made. I'd try another pair of ArbPro boots given that experience.

I have and like Keen boots as they are comfortable, and not too expensive...but they do not hold up to tree climbing.

Loggers are so 80s.

used to wear big chainsaw boots and my feet were always getting wedged in forks....

 

[CanopyGorilla]

Danner quarry's really do the trick for me too.

Depends on what you're doin up there?

Tennies are ok for light pruning.

But somethin a little more robust's needed for removal duties.

No climbing here, just firewooding, the Double H 8" Loggers are my favorite boots.
